<h2>Password strength</h2>
<p><strong>How safe is your password?</strong><br /><br />
The first step in protecting your online privacy is creating a safe password - i.e. one that a computer program or persistent individual won&#39;t easily be able to guess in a short period of time. To help you choose a secure password, we&#39;ve created a feature that lets you know visually how safe your password is as soon as you create it.</p>
<p><strong>Tips for creating a secure password:</strong></p>
<ul>
<li>Include punctuation marks and/or numbers.</li>
<li>Mix capital and lowercase letters.</li>
<li>Include similar looking substitutions, such as the number zero for the letter &#39;O&#39; or &#39;$&#39; for the letter &#39;S&#39;.</li>
<li>Create a unique acronym.</li>
<li>Include phonetic replacements, such as &#39;Luv 2 Laf&#39; for &#39;Love to Laugh&#39;.</li>
</ul>
<p><strong>Things to avoid:</strong></p>
<ul>
<li>Don&#39;t use a password that is listed as an example of how to pick a good password.</li>
<li>Don&#39;t use a password that contains personal information (name, birth date, etc.)</li>
<li>Don&#39;t use words or acronyms that can be found in a dictionary.</li>
<li>Don&#39;t use keyboard patterns (asdf) or sequential numbers (1234).</li>
<li>Don&#39;t make your password all numbers, uppercase letters or lowercase letters.</li>
<li>Don&#39;t use repeating characters (aa11).</li>
</ul>
<p><strong>Tips for keeping your password secure:</strong></p>
<ul>
<li>Never tell your password to anyone (this includes significant others, roommates, parrots, etc.).</li>
<li>Never write your password down.</li>
<li>Never send your password by email.</li>
<li>Periodically test your current password and change it to a new one.</li>
</ul>
